Vaughan Homestead, Historic house museum in Hallowell, Maine, United States.
The Vaughan Homestead spans 200 acres with woodland areas, featuring a large two-story structure and an octagon-shaped section near Vaughan Brook.
Benjamin Vaughan, a British physician and diplomat who assisted in Revolutionary War peace negotiations, moved into this 1794-built residence with his family in 1797.
The property functions as an educational center, providing programs that connect visitors with nature, history, and arts through guided tours and seasonal events.
The surrounding woods remain accessible daily from sunrise to sunset through two separate trailheads, with parking areas at Litchfield Road and Hall-Dale High School.
The estate contains numerous stone bridges crossing Vaughan Brook, constructed during the 1890s restoration period when the family repurchased previously sold portions.
